How to Use This Harrison, Montana Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Harrison, Montana. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Montana or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Harrison.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Harrison sits upon a landscape where the earth opens into wide, tawny plains that stretch toward the horizon with a quiet, persistent gravity. It lies 29.8 miles west of Belgrade, MT (from Belgrade, MT: bearing 260°T), and is situated 29.4 miles west of Four Corners. North Willow Creek carves a narrow, verdant path through the dry grasses near the town, its waters reflecting the pale, expansive sky that dominates the region. The air here holds a crisp, thin clarity that defines the transition between the low-lying fields and the distant, jagged silhouettes of the Rocky Mountains, which loom eighty miles to the west like a faint, blue-gray promise. Only two miles away, the open expanse of the Montana State Trust Lands provides a vast, uncultivated buffer where the wind moves unchecked across the sagebrush and soil, undisturbed by the slow, steady pulse of human activity.

Harrison emerged from the industrious ambitions of the frontier, its rhythm dictated by the seasonal demands of agriculture and the persistent needs of the ranching life. The local economy remains tethered to the land, drawing its vitality from the surrounding cattle pastures and the grain fields that shimmer in the summer heat. Five miles to the east, the rugged topography of Norwegian Placer Gulch serves as a reminder of the prospecting history that once drew fortune-seekers to these high, quiet places. Three miles away, the Willow Creek Reservoir provides a rare, still mirror in the landscape, a reliable reserve for the irrigation that keeps the surrounding acreage from yielding entirely to the arid climate. Life in Harrison moves with a deliberate, measured patience, shaped by the immense distances between the small, scattered clusters of light that define the night.

About This Harrison Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Harrison, Montana. Coordinates: 45.700761, -111.786369. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Harrison includes the ZIP code (59735), telephone area code (406), county seat of Madison County (Virginia City), and school district assignment (Harrison K-12 Schools).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
